From Denise:
At the Gangsters & Molls Saturday Night Dance at Worthing Assembly
Hall on Saturday 4th July, Dance Infinity were pleased to announce with
effect from 8th July ALL PROFITS from their Wednesday night dances at
the Assembly Hall, Worthing, West Sussex, will be donated to the local
charity - The Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice. They aim to raise
£10,000 in the next year for the only children's cancer hospice
in West Sussex. A 10ft Barometer will be on display each week showing
progress made.
They also run a "Loyalty Card" system, whereby you get your card
stamped each week, and every 6th visit is FREE! This is valid at
their Wednesday class night at the Assembly Hall Worthing and their
